Bucky Badger will receive an apology from a Sioux player who slashed the mascot with his stick at Saturday’s hockey game against North Dakota.

A UW-Madison student dressed as mascot Bucky Badger at Saturday’s hockey game against North Dakota will receive an apology from a Sioux hockey player who slashed him on the shins, The Capital Times reported Tuesday.

According to TCT, Sioux defenseman Joe Finley was captured on videotape slashing Bucky, played by UW-Madison student David Blanchard, with his hockey stick before Saturday’s game.

Western Collegiate Hockey Association commissioner Bruce McLeod said Finley must give Blanchard a written apology, TCT reported.

A fight ensued in the final minutes of Saturday’s game, resulting in a forced exit of five players from each team.

None of the 10 players will miss their team’s next game­­, which is Friday at Colorado College for Wisconsin.

After reviewing videotape of the brawl, McLeod said there would be no further penalties assessed, according to TCT.

According to a WCHA statement, the 172 total penalty minutes of the two teams were the fourth highest total in league history.
